أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَنْبأَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ" يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ وَبِسُورَتَيْنِ، وَفِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ، وَكَانَ يُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ، وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى مَا لَا يُطِيلُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ، وَهَكَذَا فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، وَهَكَذَا فِي صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ "

And so on in the morning prayer.”
